Most Wii RPGs have failed to go the 1m mark while it seems that WKC is on its way

 

 

Anyone who thinks WKC will sell a million is delusional.

No, it isn't. WKC already got a fifth of the way there in one week. 1 million in Japan alone is a pipe dream but 1 million worldwide? not so much

 

Everyone knows that Japan first week sales account for rufly 2/3 of total sales in that region.

I want to know why you think WKC has a chance to sell over 700,000 copies in the West. It got only 29/40 on Famitsu, so the scores on Gamerankings will be terrible, guaranteed. Seriously - give me arguments what WKC has that ToV, LO, BD, LR, IU didn't? Western marketing á la Lost Odyssey?

 

Actually, if you think about it, WKC seems to appeal to Western audiences more than the Japanese.  I think the game will actually get pretty good reviews as well as good marketing.
